HUNDREDS of fitness enthusiasts are expected to converge on Banna Beach this Saturday for what has become the bi-annual Beast Challenge.

Last April around 500 adults and an incredible 450 children turned up in the sunshine to face the obstacles on courses of varying lengths.

For adults it’s a 7km military-style obstacle challenge with walls, rope climbs, swings, slides, tyre flips to mention just a few. There’s a bespoke medal and after party BBQ for the challengers.

The younger crew will tackle the ‘Mini Beast’ which is an obstacle challenge suitable for adults and kids over 7 years. Plenty of sand, water, crawls, climbs, nets and much more. Bespoke medal for every Mini Beast.

The first wave of participants will set off at 12 noon. Tickets for the event range from €12.50 for the Mini-Beast to €45 for the 7km competitive obstacle race. Click here to see all the options
